Hai Phong’s family spends millions of dollars to build a ‘green’ house

In addition to the façade, the design team created a “green funnel”. Not only reminiscent of a large tree, but this “funnel” also draws in the southeast wind and filters the air throughout the floors.

Stairs support the West sunblock but still create a sense of lightness thanks to the design of hollow steps and cable railings.
